Solid front engine mount

Thanks for that Daz. Checked it over last night and it's all torqued up.

 

No probs

 

how bad is the increased vibration?

 

Not bad enough to outweigh the benefits is my answer

 

definatly....only notices at idle and start up and thats no real bother.

 

ha ha! i was thinking about getting solid mount anyway, so glad this post came up. Do they put much extra stress on the other two?

 

I just bought one of these... from KingKwik on here... the engine on my 2.0 valver was flopping about like a baby's head!

Must actually get round to fitting the thing!

 

Mines the very same Mike except 2nd hand from duff. You won't believe the difference. Get it fitted!!!

 

mike get it fitted its only a half hour job! lol

and i didnt fint it to bad on other mountings at all
only prob i did have was that it put a little more stress on the clutch which was already slipping a bit.

 

half an hour? took me 5 mins max!!



supported the lump on a jack, undid all 3 of the bolts, jacked it up a little, removed the old, in with the new, quick line up and torque to the right settings WALA.

Thanks again king kwik, obviously havnt driven with it yet, but it looks good.

 

I will have some of these at santa pod sunday if anyone want one

I'm using new solid rubber mounts (all 3) on mine, 2E/PB mk2, running Newman 272 cam and I'm getting plenty of vibration at idle. Is it the mounts, the cam, or just a combination of both. Thinking of changing to a 268 anyway as I do quite a bit of 'in traffic' driving on my commute to work.a

 

What the hell is that FRAM oil filter doing on your car? and I think you mean 'voila!'

I know I know... life's just a bit busy at the mo... between the new job, buying the rocco, selling the white golf, trying to do up the house to sell it, clearing out my Grandad's old house... not to mention the long list of 'go faster' jobs to do on the 2.0 valver, and the shorter list on the 911 Carrera 3.0.

...I can't remember the last time I just got pished for a weekend.

 

Just make sure you have a solid chassis....

 

how much ya sell 'em for normally?

 

@ nagging old woman.


get it fitted!!

 

Where did you get yours from mate, had a search through forum and google but can't seem to find anywhere in this country to get one.

 

ebay have a few usually go for around 60 not sure if they are well made as i dont have one

 

I don't understand guys , a solid front mount with ordinary mounts elswhere? doesn't that mean the vibration and shaking no matter how small will be constantly flexing and straining the mount and/or bolts? I'd worry about cracking in the long term.... I fitted the GSF Poly kit mount to front of my MK1 , made a nice difference.
